justkc | Battle chess... I thought this game was awesome back in the day, when I was a pre-teen. These days, I can see the chess engine is pretty limited. I wouldn't recommend it as a learning tool. | |||||

Nice one! It's about time this game got re-unprotected. I'm looking forward to when the guys behind Life and Death and Starwars Chess, the Software Toolworks, get their 'serious' contribution to the world of mind vs machine - Fidelity Chessmaster 2100 - up on here. |

gumpy | Great fun! Though I need to brush up on my chess playing skills so I can beat the computer... I lose even at the lowest skill level. | |||||

The Fifth Horseman | Define "doesn't work". What exactly happens when you try to run the game? Post any error messages in their exact text or take screenshots of them and post these here. | |||||

It's possible, I believe, that you can "trick" the game into playing with sounds, via the battle.ini-file by adding a line that turns sound on. Of course, to test this idea, I'd have to have an INI file that works, so if anyone has one, I could isolate the line and we could post it up in this forum. Best thing would be to have the DOS version, I'ver always thought that DOS version > Windows version for most of the older games, until around after the mid Win95 era and when games could run Full Screen in Windows.

1. Edit the Shortcut, go to the Shortcut tab, in the third section down (the one with "Start in"), it says "Run:" set that from "Normal Window" to "Maximized". 2. Set the Compatibility > Display settings to Run in 640 x 480 screen resolution. 3. Change the computer's screen resolution to 640 x 480. 4. Make a batch-file that pauses. Set that batch file's Display settings to Run in 640 x 480 screen resolution, and run that file when you need to. I use a combination of #1 (it covers about 0.64x of the screen), #2 (but it doesn't work, so I also had to use) #4. My computer's resolution doesn't allow me to go that low for #3. Try different things. Quote:

The CompUSA thing doesn't necessarily mean that it isn't abandonware. I've seen games that were abandonware or even intended to be freeware sold in bundles before. It's because the bundle isn't abandonware but the game (in this case Battle Chess for Windows) is. Quote:

Just a bit of an historical sidenote: I was set to review this title for a US magazine, and was told that Brian Fargo (the Interplay CEO) wanted to speak with me about it. He got on the phone and began raving about how it had a much larger database of chess games to draw from which automatically made it the best chess game, not merely for the PC, but in the world. :amused: I interrupted, and said that a chess game was far more than just its database. The AI had to know how to interpret that database and use its information, and that this was the truly difficult part. At that, his pair of PR handlers online gasped audibly, and quickly terminated the conversation. Was a truly fun game, but even then, it wasn't the best PC-based chess sim around. |
